From Poland with love” demonstrate different reincarnations and types of Polish men. (…) The artist plays with photographic and gender conventions achieving seductive pictures that catch the eye and provoke. (…) “Guys. From Poland with love” by Oiko Petersen are the most positive and cheerful postcards from contemporary Poland. With a nod to the Polish plumber phenomenon, the artist manages to surpass advertising norms and alters the rigid model of masculinity through its various roles and images.
